MINI Clubman JCW
Discussion
Hi All!
I’ve now owned my Clubman JCW for a few weeks and managed 800 miles in it so far. I’m really happy with it and love driving it, so much fun!
I traded in my Jaguar F Pace S after 2 years and a disappointing 7000 miles (I bought it to replace my old Mercedes C Class which averaged 15k a year but then COVID hit). Really liked the Jaguar but an offer of 0 loss after that time tempted me too much!
My Wife is on to her 5th MINI and I have always enjoyed driving them so good to have 1 for myself at last.
I still haven’t sussed out all the features but driving it has been a lot of fun. Properly quick thing so I’m needing to try and show some restraint!
Some obligatory pics.

Thanks for the replies👍 I know these are a bit marmite but I am really loving it.
Not sure the exact black shade, will see if I can find out.
It has the leather lounge seats which are really comfy rather than the standard sports seats. For me they are a must as a commuter car.
Off out in it again later into the countryside, can’t wait!

Good choice, I moved to the country , changed from a Macan Turbo to a Clubman JCW due to the size of the roads.
Never looked back, great car , great handling and all the power you need nowadays.
Only option I missed is the electric seats.
Done 12k miles in 18months, faultless ownership.
Enjoy.

I know MINI’s are a marmite brand and Clubman even more so. But I just love it.
Haven’t washed it yet but it’s due both inside and out ASAP.
It does use a lot of fuel but I’m sure that’s my driving style and leaving it constantly in sport mode. If it has rained and I set off with the windows open I get soaked. Can’t think of any other downsides so far.

Sorry Mark H I missed your post! Glad you are enjoying it and haven’t regretted downsizing. Agree on the electric seats! My last 3 daily drivers have had them and taken them for granted and now missing them.
This is the 1st car since my Boxster S that I just look for an excuse to drive! Absolutely love it, so much fun!

Hi All and advance merry Christmas!
Car has now done 6k mileage and I still love it! I have though noticed a rattle coming from the engine bay under hard acceleration at 3-4K revs. I’ve checked and nothing seems loose. Performance seems unaffected and oil level is fine. Only started over the past few weeks. I’ve booked it into Mini to check early in the new year. Probably nothing but want to be sure while it’s in warranty.

I'm going to reply to follow as I'm pretty interested in one of these as my next car. I miss my GP2 and want something practical that captures some of the Mini character. Does it work? I'm wary of the added bulk of the size + 4WD.
Have the barn doors ever caused a problem in tight spaces?
